Full job description

About The Role

At WWT, we believe that the best way for people to understand and connect to wetlands is to experience them, so we bring awe-inspiring nature up close. We are looking for friendly, outgoing volunteers to support visitor activities over the summer holidays, bringing experiences to life! You will be directly involved in shaping unforgettable visitor encounters through your warm welcome, positive interactions, and the educational information & activities that you provide.

Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team, and we wouldn’t be able to maintain our internationally important wetland sites without their help. You will receive a very warm welcome, full induction & training, and be provided with the necessary equipment, uniform, and anything else needed to thrive in your role.

Main tasks

This summer Martin Mere has a range of activities available for visitors, so this role would involve:

Assisting with the running of our “Mere Tun Village” – a living history village that shows how people settled next to wetlands for food, materials, and livelihood. This activity includes a weapons training activity. It takes place every Monday & Tuesday from 12-3pm
Assisting with the visitor service desk – meeting and greeting visitors on arrival, selling bird food
Undertaking moth trapping activities, otter talks, and flamingo talks
Assisting with the running of the canoe safari – giving health & safety talks, fitting buoyancy aids to visitors, ensuring safety and fun of those participating

About You

This role would be ideally suited to someone looking for a short-term volunteering experience to gain skills, for example a student wanting to improve their university application or CV. No previous experience is required for this role as full training will be provided, and a willingness to learn new skills is more important.

This role would suit you if:

You are confident or experienced in talking to members of the public
You are able to work well in a team of staff and volunteers
You have experience in a visitor services environment
You have a strong commitment to excellent customer service
You have experience in canoeing (advantage)

Role practicalities

We are particularly looking for volunteers who are available to help out 1-2 days a week from mid-July until end of August. This role is not suitable for people under 18 years.

About Us

We are WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, learn new skills or spend time in our wildlife-rich wetlands, there’s a volunteer role for you. Just a few hours spent volunteering can really make a world of difference to our wildlife, and to you.

So, come surround yourself with the wonder of wetlands, and the people who inject their energy and passion into them. Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. The only question left is, what role will you play?

Why you’ll love volunteering at WWT

Make a real contribution to the conservation work of WWT by helping to restore and conserve our internationally important wetland sites
Be surrounded and inspired by like-minded nature lovers who bring energy, passion, and expertise to their roles
Make new friends and become part of an inspiring and inclusive community
Gain relevant volunteering experience and learn & develop new skills
Get volunteer discount on WWT shops, café, and membership
Get free entry to all our UK wetland centres, including your family
Receive access to wildlife talks, webinars, and practical information to help you manage your volunteer role as well as daily life
Be kept informed on what’s happening across the WWT and the positive change you are helping to make happen
